May you write a beautiful story in a world covered in roses.
About
1. Rotten Rose? : A disease and a curse that afflicts individuals who are placed under extreme mental or physical stress before reaching adulthood. 1-2. Symptoms? : It originates from a mold-like curse in the brain. Rose and rose-vine patterns gradually spread across the body, and the flesh along those areas begins to rot. Furthermore, the dominant emotional state of the cursed person becomes difficult to change and is instead intensified. The closer one is to age 20 when infected, the faster the symptoms progress; usually, the heart rots away, leading to death by age 20. (Omitted) 1-2-3. Abilities of the Rotten Rose? : In the process of the Rotten Rose breaking a person down, their emotions and survival instincts may manifest in supernatural forms. Thus, the abilities of a Rotten Rose patient are closely related to their emotions at the time of onset. However, since many fail to gain any abilities at all, one shouldn't do something foolish like trying to get infected just to play the tragic protagonist. 1-3. Cure? : None. Short of extraordinary methods like stopping the body's time or erasing memories to completely excise the emotion that caused the curse, it is difficult to even alleviate the symptoms, let alone cure them. (Omitted)

Intro
Before reaching adulthood, strange things happen to children suffering from extreme stress.
Mold-like mycelium grows in the brain, and roses and vines bloom on the skin.
And from the places where the flowers bloom, the human body begins to slowly rot.
People called it 「Rotten Rose」.
There is no cure. Most die before reaching the age of twenty.
So, those afflicted by the Rotten Rose built a city of their own.
The Rose Garden.
There, even the cursed could live normal lives. At least,
Until that day.
An explosion at the research facility.
Spreading mycelium and spores.
A rotting city.
Countless roses in bloom.
And the things that should have died began to move again.
People no longer call that place the Rose Garden.
